BVE NORTH 2013: Registration process underway

Pre-registration is now open for BVE North 2013, the annual UK broadcast event, which this year takes place at Manchester Central on November 12th to 13th 2013.

The show offers free seminar content from various high-profile speakers, product launches and new gear demos, as well as a number of networking events. To register, visit www.bvenorth.co.uk/registration.

“Recent Ofcom data shows that PSBs are again spending more on producing programmes in the North of England, which is fantastic for BVE North – now very much a must-attend event," commented BVE North event director James Rowley-Ashwood. "We have a seen a great response to our registration outreach, with representatives from organisations including BBC, BSkyB, Channel 4, BT, MUTV, RTE, Liverpool FC and Al Jazeera already registered to attend.

"Our new central launch stage feature will focus on demonstrations of the hottest new kit from the top manufacturers, while our seminar programmes will continue to offer both high level industry level debate and practical production skills.”

This year's speaker line-up so far includes Susan Woodward OBE, director, The Sharp Project and creative media champion for the City of Manchester, who will be part of a panel on collaborative working in the digital age; John Maxwell Hobbs, head of technology, BBC Scotland, discussing the challenges of end-to-end digital workflows; and Tom Sherry, executive producer, Red Production Company, on how production companies are exploiting new technologies to reinvent workflows and enhance content.

Back by popular demand is the SkillsZone, which offers careers advice from expert industry practitioners, while the bar area has also been expanded as part of the improvements to the event's networking opportunities.
